    From North east ohio?

    North Lawrence / Canal Fulton area here. I originally bought most of my stuff at aquarium adventures near Cleveland but they will tell you anything for a sale. I just got my hippo tang at wet pets but tried my last order from here and was very impressed. Anyone near here selling frags etc. ?

    Using Cupramine but fell to .3 should I start over

    He is still in there but I did notice him trying to scratch himself on the pvc pipes I have in for him. I see one mark which was left over from the spot I noticed right after I started copper almost like a small scar. I have not actually checked him closely every day so is it possible ich could...

    testimonial not working ? Here it is

    I wish I had not waited so long to try saltwaterfish.com. I now have a great looking dwarf lion and snowflake eel as well as some snails and brittle stars that arrived in great shape and well packed. This will be the only place I buy from now. Thanks Btw I tried twice and it gave me an error page.

    Fuzzy or Zebra?

    Finally got this crab what is it ?

    I have been seeing him from time to time and he has always been in a rock. I just happened to walk out and turn the office light on and seen him trying to flip over the veggie clip. Very cool looking but I sure do not trust him

    Can ich become resistant to hypo if sg is brought down slowly

    Will the fins scar? I tend to agree if this is possible. You only really see it if his fins are out and light passes through them. He has been back in the qt since 8/9 then on 8/12 copper started. It is now nearly 2 weeks since back in the qt and a week on .5 copper and they look exactly...

    Cupramine question

    I have a 30 qt that has been through hypo but I am also doing a copper treatment. I followed the directions and added 3ml the first day then 48 hrs added another 3ml. That was on Friday. The chart is only showing approx .15. I compared it to the .5 ref and it is much lighter in color...

    I lost everything in my 150

    yes totally different. I have 3 tanks with the large one being a 150. Have you done the math to see what size inverter you would need for full support with skimmers and all and heaters if it is in the cold months? I expect that you would need much more than a $40 12 to 120v inverter. To...

    I lost everything in my 150

    Not cheap by any means but the honda inverter series generators are awesome. I have 2 x2000i in parallel for the camper but a single 1000i would be fine. They are super quiet and very light.

    Can ich become resistant to hypo if sg is brought down slowly

    I feel better knowing that I probably did cure the ich with the round of hypo..... I think haha. I am not sure which method I will use next time. It sounds like most fish stores run some type of copper in there tanks already or at least claim to giving you the impression that they are safe...

    Can ich become resistant to hypo if sg is brought down slowly

    Thanks Joe, I would have thought it was stressed more to bring it down in a certain time but in this hobby I am finding it is not good to assume. I have cupramine , copper test kit and the seachem ammonia test kit coming in the morning but am debating if I should use it or not. The powder blue...
